[edit] Usage
Strafe is the Amazon's machine gun ability. It allows her to quickly fire up to 10 arrows at a target or targets. Like Multiple Shot, this skill suffers from getting its attack power reduced to 3/4th of your regular attack power, but gains a damage increase as you level Strafe. It is considered to be one of the best Amazon multi-hit skills Multiple Shot being its rival. The only thing to be cautious about is the infamous "Strafe Lock" which when you are using strife, you cannot move until you shot all the arrows from strife, leaving you temporarily vulnerable.
[edit] History
Once a warrior has attained this facility, she can fire a volley of arrows with amazing speed and precision, striking one target after another. Veteran mercenaries often tell a tale of a new recruit who was nearly struck down in battle because he was too distracted when first seeing an Amazon use this ability. Do not doubt his word, as he is probably referring to himself. Just smile and buy him another tankard of ale.
